And on on.

I realise that there are a lot of Terminators in the above list. Maybe as additional sprues for existing squads?

Honestly trickling out updates of specialized units into plastic could be a great way to keep updating the game without just adding books or units, but I'm sure someone will tell me why it's bad.
1) They're more marine releases.
2) They're firstborn releases, so not even relevant for most players because they're being squatted and everyone prefers Primaris proportions.
3) They're out of scale anyway as they're too big. They won't match up with the rest of the models in that army.
4) They're out of scale anyway as they're too small. They won't match up with the rest of the models in that army.
5) They're firstborn marine releases that only one army can use. And the 40k version of that army. And Deathwatch players. Or anyone with a DIY chapter with similar iconography. And anyone capable of owning a file or craft knife.



Who says HH stuff needs to be useable in both games? I'd prefer they keep them segregated personally, HH is the more serious and adult version of the game now with all the Tonka truck looking toys in the #New40K line.

This article appears to to say there won't be any unique Legion specific units https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/03/24/beakies-are-back-first-miniatures-from-the-horus-heresys-new-edition-spotted-at-adepticon/

"there aren’t currently any such plans for the Legion-specific units or Primarchs."

Yeah, that's totally a nail in the coffin.

A. There are plans, I guarantee you it has been discussed, analyzed and mathed out in terms of both cost, risk and reward.
B. Whether or not it comes to fruition is entirely dependent on how the second edition of the game does, how it's received and what the player base askes GW for in any future surveys or emails.

For now, we have a pretty good idea of what we are getting. But what comes next (and I absolutely know something will come in the form of a second wave) is something we will just have to wait for.

Any future waves will tackle everything and anything that would belong in a generic Legion list prior to any unique units. Stormeagles, Mk2/5, Deredeo dreads, units using the Spartan chassis, units using the Sicaran chassis, Breachers, Dreadclaws, the list goes on before we would get close to Legion specifics.

More than likely. Also we have three more Thursdays for new unit reveals including this week before the possible earliest preorder date, so I'd expect to see more stuff. Not going to lie, Stormeagles would be sick!

But I will die on the hill that if they see profit in releasing specific characters, primarchs or units, they will absolutely do it.

Well yeah there'd be money in it. But not as much money as generic stuff, plus FW is hardly making a loss when it sells specialist items and the character models are far better than GW.

Having the Generic stuff will be good. Hoping for a lot more to come. But, respectfully I think that [second part] is a matter of opinion. The plastic 40K guilliman looks much, much better than the Resin one. I'd much rather have them in plastic for ease of access. Many, many people do not collect the resin models because they simply do not wish to fight with Resin. That equates to a lot of lost sales.

I mean we're getting the unique space wolf and 1k son characters in plastic, and Imperial fists and blood angels got those black library weekend minis. So we're seeing a liiitle bit of plastic characters. I'd not be TOO suprised to see GW foillow that up with more Heresy characters on the BL weekends.


as for the tone of the article, it feels to me they're just trying to have some fun. I imagine writing constant "THIS FACTION IS AWESOME" posts with complete seriousness gets boring over time.

Hm.... three weeks....

maybe a third Praetor, while the two known are Set only?

Close Combat Weapons, Terminator Weapons, Assault Marines, the Leviathan and the Predator would be nice but whe have possible only three weeks remaining for previews. Maybe we will see Legion specific expansion sets with shoulder pads and other stuff.

I personally don't understand this war between positivity and negativity.

People that want to complain about a release will point to someone that likes the release and go "UGH, POSITIVITY!!!"

Someone that doesn't quite like the style GW is going with on a model will get dogpiled on by "UGH, NEGATIVITY!!!"

It's called having a different opinion. God forbid we leave it at that.

Strangest thing about it is that the people who don't like a certain thing bear no ill will towards the people that do like it, generally they're just expressing their dislike. The people that do like the thing though - they find this expression quite distressing. Actually it's probably not strange at all and just some sort of basic psychology - the people that liek the thing feel that they're being attacked, because at that moment, in their mind the thing is a proxy for them, the person that likes the thing.

For sure, I wouldn't be surprised to see more of them and I hadn't thought of the Black Library celebration weekends as being a good release point for such things.

Ah yes, because the 20 years of accusations of white knighting when people aren't on board the negativity train never happened.

I have no issues with people not liking things, I do have some issues with the endless hyperbole about how everything is ruined forever everytime James Workshop breathes through his left nostril.

I admit I try to give GW some rope to hang themselves with when it comes to releases but it's because I've been burned by them in the past by getting too hyped, but I've also been pleasantly suprised so instead I withhold fully forming a position until I've seen the actual rules and the full release. I get that some people don't like this since I've been lamblasted for saying "wait for the codex" because the community has been left in the dark about details in the past which has left us looking a bit silly and reactionary but I've given up on telling people to wait and see.

Honestly I like it when GW lets the old school tongue in cheek show through even if some people can't stop taking a setting with heretical load bearing walls too seriously. To me part of the appeal of the setting is how ridiculous things are (flying churches through space, drop churches, a missile firing church organ mounted on top of a tank just to name some quick examples) presented like they're completely normal and you're the odd one for not seeing it as normal.

But fighting negativity with negativity (i.e., "I don't like this", "you're a tryhard for not liking this!") does not make a place more positive, it just makes it more negative.

If we want a more positive environment, the answer is to just reply to "I don't like this" with "Too bad, I do like it", then at most each side can expound on the aspects they do or don't like and since taste is subjective it just eventually ends once the analysis is exhausted and people just accept what they do and don't like.

It's when we get into the attacks on character on why people do / don't like something that things turn into a cesspool of negativity (and I say that acknowledging that I've likely said things that people have taken as attacks on their character even if I didn't intend them as such but maybe worded them carelessly).

yeah 'serious'. Dude, just because you pay 200 dollars more for your rectangle of resin doesn't make it 'mature' or 'adult' especially considering HH marines are still running around with those ridiculous little chicken legs.

Does anyone know what the standard number of models for a 30K army is? I’ve heard that it is more than 40k, and mostly consists of tactical marines. I stopped playing 40k a few years ago, but 30k has (cautiously) piqued my interest. It seems like the larger troop boxes would be inline with larger armies overall.

Eh it can depend entirely on what sort of list you want to run. It's very easy to get massive footslogger lists in 30k which can run near 100 infantry in a 2k list. But then if you craft a somewhat sensible list, then you're likely to find you'll have a number of infantry to a similar sized 40k game, as a lot of the points end up being sunk in expensive tanks/flyers/primarchs.

I imagine it would depend somewhat on the local meta somewhat too. In my area at any rate, unless playing ZM which normally runs 750-1250 points, games tend to start around the 2-2.5k points mark and average out at about 3-3.5k points. Then on top of that if you're playing to a specific Rite of War that will likely influence what you take. Pride of the Legion lists tend to run 20-30 terminators or may 40ish power armoured vets. Armour lists will be lower troops, maybe 20ish, but more tanks. One local guy like to cram in 6 fire raptors and feth all else into a list. (shockingly, people don't like playing him too much. )
